Page 4 Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, November 7, 2007 Cougars in state playoff Friday in CJ Equestrian center goal for Rusks Plans for a community center and equestrian facility a short distance south of Cave Junction are causing a flurry of excitement. Illinois Valley residents Wayne and Shirley Rusk are following the trail of their dreams: They plan to create an innovative and new edu- cational and recreational facility at their Rusk Ranch that will serve regional youth and the handicapped, as well as the equestrian communities. Said the couple, “The Glass Rail Outfit, an Oregon nonprofit organization, has been established to oversee this massive project. It will provide areas for youth edu- cational and recreational programs. And it will pro- vide overnight horse accom- modations, indoor and out- door arenas for equestrian use, and trailhead access for riding.” “We have a great re- spect and appreciation of Nature,” said Wayne Rusk. “Preserving the rural integ- Totino, Jeno pizzas linked to E. coli ills Public health officials are urging consumers to throw away any Totino’s or Jeno’s brand frozen pizzas that contain pepperoni in the wake of a multistate out- break of E. coli O157:H7 infections. The manufacturer, Gen- eral Mills, has recalled all frozen pepperoni pizzas pro- duced at its Wellston, Ohio, plant. More than 120 million of these pizzas have been distributed since the begin- ning of July. Public health investiga- tors in Tennessee and else- where have linked a grow- ing number of people in- fected with E. coli O157:H7 to pizzas produced at the Ohio plant. The investiga- tion is continuing, and the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture and other agencies are working with General Mills to identify the source of the problem. Good Shepherd Lutheran Church The Beatitudes, as spoken by Jesus Christ to His disciples, should remind Christians that they are encouraged to follow His words. They include, “Blessed are you when people hate you … revile you and defame you on account of the Son of Man.” And we should recall Luke 6:31, “Do unto others as you would have them do to you.” Senior Nutrition Menu Meals are served in the CJ County Bldg. 592-2126, 474-5440 FRIDAY, NOV. 9 BEEF CABBAGE BAKE Creamed potatoes Peas & carrots Herb bread Brownie MONDAY, NOV. 12 VETERANS DAY Closed WEDNESDAY, NOV. 14 TERIYAKI MEATBALLS W/ RICE Broccoli cuts Carrot pineapples salad Seven grain roll Lemon bar Say you saw it in the Illinois Valley News Equine therapy for children with disabilities will be offered by instructor Connie Hicks (center).

(Photo provided) rity, beauty and ambiance of the environment is para- mount to our plans.” The Glass Rail Outfit has adopted an ecologically friendly position for its pro- ject. The project will provide modern facilities for groups including Scouts, 4-H, FFA, schools, and others to hold meetings, retreats, and other functions, he said. It also will be available to the pub- lic for a variety of uses in- cluding weddings, recep- tions, reunions, conferences, conventions, youth sporting events, and art exhibits. A lot of grant writing will be needed, Rusk said. “Wishes & Wings,” the first phase of the project, will be a therapeutic riding program designed for the disabled. This program will serve physically, mentally, and emotionally challenged participants who may bene- fit from hippo therapy, a type of therapy using horses. It will be a premier rid- ing program that will pro- vide innumerable benefits to those participating, Rusk related. A spring opening is anticipated for the riding facility with 250 to 350 square feet of space. Connie Hicks, a current horse trainer, is planning the “Wishes & Wings” project. Hicks is a former NARHA (North American Riding for the Handicapped Associa- tion) instructor and Special Olympics equestrian coach. She has a degree in equine sciences, and has many years of experience instruct- ing youth and the disabled in equestrian activities. Anyone wanting addi- tional information about this new community and eques- trian facility should phone The Glass Rail Outfit office at 592-4658. There are countless ways to give to and receive from this new venture in Illinois Valley, Rusk stated. There might have been a slight sinking feeling among Cougar football fans Friday night, Nov. 2, as arch-rival North Valley took a 12-0 lead in the first quarter. But not to worry: Illi- nois Valley, which entered the home game with a 9-0 mark in the Skyline Confer- ence, shook off its jitters; took control; and achieved a perfect 10-0 season record (5-0 in the Skyline). To their credit, the Knights fought hard, but the Cougars triumphed 30-24. What’s that mean? It means that the 2007 Illinois Valley varsity team made history. IVHS earned first place in the league, and most defi- nitely cemented its first- place seeding in the Class 4-A state playoffs. I.V. will line up against the Marist Spartans from Eugene, the runner-up in the Sky-Em Conference, Friday, Nov. 16 at 7 p.m., on the IVHS field. With less than a minute remaining in Friday’s game, the always-tough Knights (5-4 overall, 2-3 in the Sky- line) charged hard for a win. But it was not to be. With the board reading 24-12, and with approxi- mately 60 seconds on the clock, the Knights scored on a 25-yard screen pass. Score: I.V. 24, NV 18. Not to be outdone, the Cougs tore upfield, driving close to nine minutes. The drive ended with a 10-yard pass from quarterback Doug Hoskins to tight end Chad Tardie. Score: I.V. 30, NV 18. With some 43 seconds on the clock, the Knights’ Keith Suits took the kickoff and ran 87 yards down the left sideline for a TD. An onside kick was attempted, but I.V. recovered, and the The Collection goes on the Road November 15 to December 3 Select Your Hat Soon At the S.O.G.
